INTRODUCTION
I am bringing together a lot of history of Rajasthan that few know but as stories. This is my research and shows my love for Rajasthan, which has contributed immensely to India as it is doing now. This book is an easy way for readers to get a lot of information that they may not find otherwise. But this is history that changed the history of this state and that of India.
Rajasthan, an introduction.
Enchanting, this abode of the kings and its people are a handsome race with bravery etched in every grain of their body and minds.

Vibrant and colorful, the magnificence of Rajasthan captures the heart and mind of one and all.

This ancient country is older than the Indus Valley Civilization, the ruins of which can be found in Kalibangan in Hanumangarh district. Between 35-405 BCE the western khsatrapas were ruled by Sakas – Rajasthan, Gujarat, Sindh and Maharashtra. The rule of the Indo-Scythians was followed by the
